How do I restore tabs every time I close and re-open Firefox?

So I've already selected (in Options) "When Firefox starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time," but when ever I close and open Firefox, I just get the one homepage tab. What else do I need to do?

If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

  • Running FF 34.0.5 on Windows Vista OK, but on Windows 8.1all custom buttons are gone every time I close and then open Firefox

    When I open FF on Windows 8.1, buttons are always gone. I have to use customize again to add the buttons I want.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the suggestions.
    I tried many things, finally found the problem.
    It was FoxTab 1.4.9 that was stopping custom settings from being saved.
    I also tried updating FoxTab to 1.4.10 but that version also prevents custom settings from being saved. With FoxTab disabled custom settings are now saved.
    In the Add-0ns Manager for FoxTab there are many reviews about this issue. Many reviews are for 1.4.9 but 1.4.10 has issues also.

    I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again.  How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent?  I have an older machine with Windows XP.

    I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
    Try this:
    Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
    Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
    Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
    Close and shut down the computer.
    The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
    Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
    Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
    If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
    Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
    What happens, which step do you have problems with?

  • After upgrading to the newer version of Firefox, a lose all my tabs every time I close. I've done what was suggested in the FAQx, but I still lose them all when I close. I want to fix this. How?

    I want to know how to have my tabs save when I close Firefox. I did what was suggested in the FAQs section, but all my tabs disappear every time I close Firefox, whether using the "exit" command, or the "X" button. This was the very reason I never updated to the new version previously, but had hoped that the problem had been addressed and upgraded, now I'm stuck with having to reopen every tab every time I open Firefox. Please tell me there is a way to correct this. And, I'm not fluent in technospeak, so I need simple, basic instructions. Thank you. Mark

    Hi,
    Pressing '''Alt''' + '''T''' on the keyboard brings up the '''Tools''' menu.
    To see the full menu bar temporarily, press '''Alt''' or '''F10'''.
    To make the menu bar permanently visible, right-click on the '''+''' after the last tab and enable (tick) '''Menu Bar''' or press '''Alt''' + '''V''' > '''Toolbars''' > '''Menu Bar'''.

  • Firefox opens blank tab every time a .pdf file is opened. How can keep Firefox from doing this?

    A blank tab opens in Firefox every time I open a .pdf file. I've noticed several people have this issue but no sufficient response has been posted yet. It is incredibly annoying, especially since I may open multiple pdf files at once and when I return to Firefox there are several blank tabs open.

    Are you using the built-in PDF Viewer (pdfjs) or the Adobe Reader, either in Firefox or standalone?

  • Why does Firefox get rid of my app tabs every time I close it?

    I make app tabs when I open Firefox, then I close it later. Then the next time I open Firefox, the app tabs are gone.

    App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox profile folder.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
    Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

  • Why do I have to refresh tabs every time I do a search with Firefox 7.01?

    Whenever I try to open a new item from a Google search, the new tab appears with the "busy" circle icon, but nothing appears on the screen until I do a "tab refresh." Sometimes I have to do this twice before the site will finally appear.
